Tom Shatel, Omaha World-Herald: It's time to point the finger, and there aren't enough fingers in the good state of Nebraska to single out the culprits in an unthinkable 34-23 loss to Minnesota. Only one finger will be necessary, however. This is Bo Pelini's program.

Patrick Reusse, Minneapolis Star Tribune: In 12 games played between
Nebraska and Minnesota between 1969 through 2012, the Cornhuskers scored
568 points and the Golden Gophers 86. But that all changed Saturday as
Nebraska was absolutely mauled by Minnesota.

David Teel, Newport News Daily Press: Duke had lost 59 consecutive games away from home against ranked teams, and 47 straight overall since a 1994 home win over No. 13 Virginia. Then came Saturday's stunning 13-10 victory against No. 16 Virginia Tech.

David Jones, PennLive.com: The bottom line: Ohio State has weaponry at every position of its offense that simply cannot be defended by a resistance as lightly equipped as Penn State's.

Chris Murray, Reno Gazette-Journal: Nevada has more talent than Nevada Las Vegas. It was playing at home, with one of the largest crowds in Wolf Pack history (32,521) on its side. And it laid a penalty-filled egg.
